Hi,
Does anyone know how to automatically dial a pager number from vb ( i.e.
no user interaction required to make the call)?

I would sure hate to be the person that owns the pager  :)

Hi,

I have several examples of paging in my book (see below for information).
Both numeric and alphanumeric paging are included, with examples.

Don't worry it won't page everybody and their brother. It's just a personal
project that pages my brother.

when i need to do this, I created a PAGE.TXT file which had 'ATDT
555-1212,,,,,519-376-1234#', where 555-1212 was the pager# and my number is
519-376-1234.

and a PAGE.BAT file with 'COPY PAGE.TXT COM2:'  (My modem was on com2)

Then in VB I SHELLed with a mytask=SHELL("PAGE.BAT")

remember the shell function is asyncronous, i.e. you will crash your
machine with...

:PageBuddy
mytask=shell("page.bat")
goto PageBuddy

Look up documentation on TAPI.
